I have read that Flynn is apparently angry at Trump for agreeing to fire him, so I can only hope that he attacks him like a vampire. Or accuses him of &quot;spirit cooking&quot; or whatever.... ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-55962882369912001232017-04-01T11:52:59.192-04:002017-04-01T11:52:59.192-04:00hi JD...I saw that, as well as Pence running after...hi JD...I saw that, as well as Pence running after him, and I must admit I found it deeply disturbing. As I said above, I can&#39;t shake the feeling that something is wrong with Trump.

And along with some of my doctor friends, I do wonder whether early onset Alzheimers could be a factor. It did kill his father Fred, and the first symptoms can be subtle and hard to notice. But attention deficit disorder in a 70-year-old man with one finger on the nuclear button is by itself reason for concern...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-75981744356358476512017-04-01T11:43:51.906-04:002017-04-01T11:43:51.906-04:00hi John...the alt-right gang are still fixated on ...hi John...the alt-right gang are still fixated on Ryan and to a slightly lesser degree Priebus. But Pence seems to be able to float above it all, and after he let us know that he is never in the company of any other woman but his wife, I&#39;m sure his star is shining even brighter. As for the Cruz/Clinton match up I have no idea how that would have worked out. But I will always wonder how different things might have been if Bernie Sanders had taken on Trump...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-27784485318100377482017-04-01T11:37:56.866-04:002017-04-01T11:37:56.866-04:00hi David...every time I hear Bernstein use the wor...hi David...every time I hear Bernstein use the word cover-up, my heart skips a beat.

A reporter asked him about Flynn seeking immunity in exchange for his testimony and Donnie walked out without even singing the much ballyhooed &quot;Stop Screwing America&quot; trade orders. Not clinically crazy just a little obsessed with winning while using greed, anger and revenge as motivators.<br />Will certainly be interesting to see how he plays the Flynn story... probably something like the Duffy story .. take the fall and we will look after you. Nothing to see here folks... Flynn the traitor was sort of convicted and sort of punished... now lets all move along we have trade agreements to destroy, immigrants to persecute,people to abandon, science to deny, and new wars to fight!<br />RTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-27228620304380671612017-03-31T11:34:02.876-04:002017-03-31T11:34:02.876-04:00Flynn could be the Trump card so to speak if he t...Flynn could be the Trump card so to speak if he testifies.<br />&quot;Hell hath no fury like a General scorned&quot;.<br />JDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-8320327213402466292017-03-31T10:17:29.126-04:002017-03-31T10:17:29.126-04:00I don&#39;t think Trump is insane in the technical...I don&#39;t think Trump is insane in the technical sense, but he is a highly narcissistic personality in a post with far more demands than he is used to and with much less control of his agenda as he is just learning. He is likely experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety that is impeding his ability to concentrate or think rationally (well, as much as he ever thought rationally). <br /><br />He probably always had the short attention span and lack of ability to handle detailed or abstract arguments but this is likely getting worse as anxiety increases and just as a function of ageing in a man who probably never did much abstract thinking—Kahneman&#39;s “thinking slowly”. Practice while it might not <i>make perfect</i> but in a case of abstract thinking the adage <i>use it or lose it</i> definitely holds.jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-25514386151390680402017-03-31T08:02:52.453-04:002017-03-31T08:02:52.453-04:00And the libertarians will have taken over the pres...And the libertarians will have taken over the presidency by way of Trump&#39;s muddled and reputedly populist platform. Has the independent alt-right started pointing fingers at Pence yet, or are they still too busy obsessing over Reince and Ryan?<br /><br />Still, I can&#39;t help but wonder how Lyin&#39; Ted would have made out against Hillary?
